I was trying to install Polybar on my system while I stumble upon these commands :
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j$(nproc)
$ sudo make install
after install cmake from the app store, I tried the commands above.
Here is the error message I got: (CMakeError.log)
Determining if the pthread_create exist failed with the following output:

after some google search about this undefined reference to pthread_create
here are some of the answer I found. But I do not know where to put it inside the CMakeList.txt file…
answer one : undefined reference to 'pthread_create', won't build · Issue #24 · mmp/pbrt-v3 · GitHub

Hi,
the nicest solution would be to add
${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT}
to all of theTARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES
commands referencingpbrt
in CMakeLists.txt.
Could you verify that this works? If so, I’ll commit a fix.
Here is my CMake.list file
